CU 2.0 Fintech Friday: Everyday Life

Everyday Life Insurance is a fintech that provides affordable, appropriate life insurance. Everyday Life Insurance uses AI and machine learning to provide life insurance recommendations. After giving its recommendations, Everyday Life serves as a digital agent, helping people select and purchase plans.

Life insurance is slowly but surely going the way of the dinosaur in the United States. Especially for low- and middle-income families, the premiums associated with life insurance can be prohibitively expensive.

Unfortunately, a lack of life insurance can also be a burden on families. In the last year, there were more than 125,000 GoFundMe campaigns requesting memorial service funds alone. That number doesn’t include other costs, nor does it cover other crowdfunding platforms.

Clearly, life insurance for lower- and middle-income earners is necessary. However, much of the industry in its current form can’t accommodate these demographics.

And then there’s the way that life insurance is frequently sold. First, new tiers of service, additional perks, and complicated upgrades get confusing. Then, insurance salespeople make commissions on their sales, which incentives upselling to policies that people don’t need, while also contributing to higher premiums.

It shouldn’t be so difficult.

Everyday Life Insurance aims to make the process of purchasing life insurance easier. By using AI and machine learning, they can quickly determine the best policies for people. By using these new technologies—and by refusing sales commissions—they can often recommend life insurance plans that can save 80% off the cost of traditional policies.
